How to make paper beads
Paper beads are made by rolling triangles of paper around a rod. This rod can be anything round, such as a paintbrush, straw or dowelling.
We are going to use art straws which are made of paper for our beads.
The first step is to cut out some long triangles of paper. You can use different types of paper, such as coloured paper,
wrapping paper or paper from old newspapers or magazines.

The type of triangle you cut out will determine the shape of your bead. If you have a wide base for your triangle, you will have a wide bead. If you have a narrow triangle, your bead will be
smaller.
Wow! How interesting.

Once you have cut out the triangles you want to use, you are ready to start rolling your beads. Glue the back of the triangle, making
sure you glue right to the tip.

Place the art straw at the base of your triangle.
Carefully start rolling the art straw up
towards the tip. You need to make sure you roll it tightly.

Make sure the tip of the triangle is glued down, then
leave to dry.
Make sure the tip of the triangle is glued down,
then leave to dry. Repeat this with other triangles
along the art straw.

Once the beads are dry, snip the art straw to make
your beads.
